Supreme Court ruling on race based Louisiana redistrict question hurts democrats

[Mac-7]

Ahhhh, the old "it's always been this way excuse". Got it. Thanks. No doubt all the MAGA morons on USMB can't see how unAmerican it is to let politicians pick their voters.
time until a MAGA whataboutism: 10...9...8...
The last ruling said drawing districts based upon race was violation of the Voting Rights Act. Looks right to me. The dispute between the racist MAGA morons vs the Rainbows and Unicorns Party is how politicians are applying it in their states. I support state's rights along with individual rights under the Constitution.

How do you think voting districts were drawn in 1789?

Hey Joe, I’ll bet you are very happy with your retirement portfolio.

yes, I've made good investments. Nothing to do with Trump.

Only a matter of time before he crashes the markets.

You are a clueless leftist. CA has been doing this for 70 years. Today, not one voter in the eastern part of CA has a voice.

Not in the middle of the decade like Texas did.

You are a clueless leftist. CA has been doing this for 70 years. Today, not one voter in the eastern part of CA has a voice.

An easily disproved lie. California has 52 reps/districts. Eight are Republicans and one is an Independent. The rest are Democrats. Sure, heavy on the LW but anyone claiming "no voter as a voice" is either lying or ignorant.

It's also important to note the population distribution. Only morons don't realize that most Californians live on the coast and not the mountains or desert in eastern CA.

You’re a clown. How is any of that even close to happening?

It's already happening.

Trump was right; he could shoot an American in broad daylight and not lose any MAGA votes.

Back in the day, Republicans talked about "the Silent Majority" AKA suburban moderates. Nowadays, 45% of American voters are Independents because they feel neither major party represents they. They are the "Deciders", as GW labeled them.

As the link below points out, the major political parties are remiss to dismiss the Silent Majority and only the demented, the delusional and the dumb think they own the Silent Majority....millions of whom are armed. LOL

Just because Americans aren't news junkies or screaming on message boards and Facebook doesn't mean they aren't concerned about watching the American Republic and our Constitution being torn down with politicians picking their voters in an Authoritarian America. Americans like fairness in their voting and for fellow Americans. It's the Christian thing to do. The views of mammon-worshiping Satanists is different.

The Silent Majority: How American Politics Are Dominated By One Demographic

In 1968, Richard Nixon and the Republican Party swept the election cycle. Nixon amassed an astonishing 301 electoral votes, helping conservatives gain five seats in both the Senate and House. Democrats would temporarily maintain control of the Congress, but the ‘red wave’ of 1968 left Americans...

In the Trump-Clinton contest, the electorate group dubbed the ‘silent majority’ made up exactly half the overall voting population. When the swing fell 53-48 in Trump’s favor, it propelled him to victories in swing states. Whether it was Clinton’s campaign strategy, Trump’s breath of fresh air, or a frustration with the liberal agenda, suburbia and victory proved compatible in 2016.

2020 told a different story: Biden appealed to moderates on the road to victory. Suburbs are loosely classified, but in the regions considered ‘suburban,’ Biden fared far better in 2020 than Clinton in 2016. He garnered 51.2% of voters, polling more than four points ahead of Clinton.

Understanding gun ownership in America is not as simple as knowing who does and does not own a gun. Some Americans who don’t personally own guns live with someone who…

www.pewresearch.org

Among those who live in rural areas, 46% say they are gun owners, compared with 28% of those who live in the suburbs and 19% in urban areas. There are also significant differences across parties, with Republican and Republican-leaning independents more than twice as likely as Democrats and those who lean Democratic to say they own a gun (44% vs. 20%).

You could lose a lot of black congress members between now and the 2030 census

Your voting tights are still protected

But the privilege of having a voting district just for black people has been revoked

Freed the slaves.

Before those on the Left rush to condemn all Christians because of the loud-mouthed and very unChristian Evangelicals on the Right, they should consider that about 40% of Democrats are...wait for it....CHRISTIAN.

One reason abolitionists are forgotten is that they were inescapably Christian in their motives, means, and vocabulary. Not that all abolitionists were orthodox Christians, though a large proportion were. But even those who had left the church drew on unmistakably Christian premises, especially on one crucial point: slavery was sin. Sin could not be solved by political compromise or sociological reform, abolitionists maintained. It required repentance; otherwise America would be punished by God. This unpopular message rankled an America that was pushing west, full of self-important virtue as God’s darling.

5. Party identification among religious groups and religiously unaffiliated voters

Partisanship remains strongly linked to registered voters’ religious affiliation, and religious “nones” have become more Democratic.

I said I don't know and now it's clear you don't either. Have a nice day, Mac.

The problem is that you guys interpretted a barely won by 1.5% as a mandate.

Somehow, I doubt you'll change your mind when the House goes Democrat in November.

House + Senate + White House = Mandate

No, this SC decision proves our voting rights are not protected, this decision shows why they never made the VRA permanent.

To make the privilege of having white voting districts even stronger. Why in the hell do you think it was created in the first damn place.

You mean your former privilage of having a black person as your rep in congress

That is unconstitutional

So, it's constitutional as long as you have the privilege of having your white rep in Congress.

There will still be black reps in congress

But they will have to get elected on merit instead of their black skin color

Guess how many black GOP reps there will be. 1.

In the South there will be few to none from either party.

 

[SweetTea]

They'll lose.

The problem with redistributing those minority voters is that they just make other districts more competitive. And with large chunks of white moderate voters jumping off the Trump train, this probably won't be good for you.

What makes you think those jumping off the “Trump train” will go full crazy and vote for a looney lefty? That is like saying I really didn’t like my ex-girlfriend, I think I’ll try going out with dude next.
